HETH/IAA-CSIC), report:
We observed the enhanced XRT position (Evans et al., GCN #23903) of
Swift GRB 190219A (Beardmore et al., GCN #23902) with the 2.2m telescope
of CAHA equipped with CAFOS. We obtained 3 x 180 s images in the Ic band
under inclement weather conditions and the influence of the full Moon.
At the XRT position, we do not detect any source down to Ic > 21.5 mag
(AB mag) at 0.038627 days after the GRB trigger, calibrated against
nearby PanSTARRS objects. No source is visible at this position in
PanSTARRS imaging either. This non-detection is in agreement with
Beardmore et al. (GCN #23902) and Perez del Pulgar et al. (GCN #23904).
